Summer Shakespeare

The Rapture

In which we face the end of days… TikTok says it’s the Rapture today, and when the gals heard that, they knew it was their duty to chime in. But what are the steps of the Rapture? Who even in society is Christ/the Antichrist? Will there be any surprises with who gets sucked up? What was Jesus’ body like?  Plus, the Jimmy Kimmel saga, our post-apocalypse plans, and dragon-therapy for frigid people. This one’s uncut— we only have so much time left.

Drop (2025)

In which we drop the ball. Blumhouse is back at it again with a new thriller movie that asks a compelling and prescient question: would you kill your app date? What’s the big deal anyway? How much can you even care about a first date? On the other hand, what if he’s super good at texting?  Plus, Irish racism, some really tempting spam texts, and a mini happenstance on the movie Night Swim. In our predictions segment, Jyo has some ideas about AI boyfriends while Sam intuits the future of her pilates class. We end, as always, with a denouement with tips for home improvement and philosophizing on Trader Joe’s snacks.

There Will Be Blood (2007)

In which it's oil in a day's work (thank you to puns.co [https://puns.co/oil/] for this pun)!! Today we're talking about Paul Thomas Anderson, his other movies, and his love life. But wait, is this the one with Javier Bardem in a bob? Is the Boogie Nights famous penis big enough? What if our podcast was number 2 or 3 on the New York Times 100 best movies list? That would be cool :D Plus, Jyo recounts the shocking plot of The Brutalist, some really good DDL/BBL wordplay, and a board game hot take. Then, in our predictions segment, we unpack how Sam's last one was literally already proven wrong, and then Jyo's is immediately proven right. We end with a denouement that's more of a cliffhanger. Oil's well that ends well!

Summer Shakespeare

In which we did not do the reading. It's Shakespeare summer school, and on the syllabus are four of ole Willy's most esteemed works: Othello, The Tempest, As You Like It, and Macbeth. And as usual we have a lot of questions. Who did Sam play in her high school Shakespeare productions? What even happens in "The Boy Who Cried Wolf?" And finally, who ends class, the teacher or the bell? Aside from guessing the plot of these literary masterpieces, we're unveiling our new pop culture philosophy/cultural movement/manifesto... DON'T WATCH IT. Don't go to the movies, don't watch TV, don't even listen to this podcast if you don't want to. We're not saying don't engage with art, we're saying don't feed the Hollywood machine✌️☮️💖 Plus, a recap of our first ever business call, Love Island except it's Hate Island, and our predictions for the return of tricorn hats and street urchins. We end with a brand new, extra-boring segment, the Denouement, that'll put you right to sleep. Sweet dreams, Stancers 😌

White Lotus Season 4

In which we are super on topic. Recorded a few months back after the White Lotus season 3 finale, we come at you today with a summer ep exploring our ideas for season 4. Can Mike White do it again? But where this time? How did his recent real life trip to Colombia go? And how can he one-up the incest storyline? Plus, the gals come up with a bunch of creative vacay-style murders, surprise themselves by inviting Patrick Schwarzenegger on the pod, and argue for a summer and winter White Lotus release schedule. Then in their famous segment predictions, Jyo sounds off on who's going to space, and Sam posits that ocean beings and outer space beings are in communication with each other.
